Short Film with non original footage removed



Removal of outside footage

It was made apparent to me that my footage used in my film from outside, was not my own and as it does not have any titles over it, I removed it from my film. I used 9 seconds of footage overall which was;




  • The 20th century fox footage was to represent my distributor
  • The war footage was to show small flashbacks of Achmed (main character) in the Syrian Civil War where he acted as a child solider with his brother Sabeen, which later represents why Achmed is in so much distress.
  • The footage of Achmed came in-between the film at different times and did not have any titles over them however lasted 2-3 seconds each.
This footage was then removed and the film carries on without this footage. There was not much difficulty or struggle in doing this and I do not believe it has impacted my film excessively. 

There are now 2 copies of the film on my blog.
